When distances split from the main loop, signs indicate the correct turn for each distance. Aid support is provided with one full on-course aid station near the midway point and an aid station at the start and finish. Additional water and ice stations are placed between those points. Finish line beverages include cold sodas and water.
This is a cupless event; runners must bring a bottle or cup. Collapsible cups are available for purchase at packet pickup for $7 cash or via Venmo. Drop bag services are not offered on the course but items may be left near the race hub outside packet pickup and the chute. Chip timing is used with ankle-mounted chips that must be returned after the race. Pacers are not allowed.
The event is produced in partnership with the Water-Oriented Recreation District of Comal County and supports the Great Springs Project. The W.O.R.D. purpose includes conserving natural resources, improving public health, promoting water safety, and operating public parks.
